Christian Standard Bible

Psalm 77

Confidence in a Time of Crisis

For the choir director: according to Jeduthun. Of Asaph.^(A) A psalm.

¹I cry aloud to God,
aloud to God, and he will hear me.^(B)
²I sought the Lord in my day of trouble.
My hands were continually lifted up
all night long;
I refused to be comforted.^(C)
³I think of God; I groan;
I meditate; my spirit becomes weak.^(D)Selah

⁴You have kept me from closing my eyes;
I am troubled and cannot speak.^(E)
⁵I consider days of old,
years long past.^(F)
⁶At night I remember my music;
I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders.^(G)

⁷“Will the Lord reject forever
and never again show favor?^(H)
⁸Has his faithful love ceased forever?
Is his promise at an end for all generations?^(I)
⁹Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?” ^(J)Selah

¹⁰So I say, “I am grieved
that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”^[a]^(K)
